The Nature Of Prejudice: 25th Anniversary Edition

Critical Race Theory: An Introduction

Read Chapter One.

"Unlike other theorists, these people mean to change the world, not merely to 'ascertain how society organizes itself along racial lines and hierarchies, but to transform it for the better.' This book has served as my introduction to a field I wish I had started to cultivate and harvest much earlier."
—Bloomsbury Review

For well over a decade, critical race theory—the school of thought that holds that race lies at the very nexus of American life—has roiled the legal academy. In recent years, however, the fundamental principles of the movement have influenced other academic disciplines, from sociology and politics to ethnic studies and history.

And yet, while the critical race theory movement has spawned dozens of conferences and numerous books, no concise, accessible volume outlines its basic parameters and tenets. Here, then, from two of the founders of the movement, is the first primer on one of the most influential intellectual movements in American law and politics.

The Law of Sex Discrimination

An honest and informative text on sex discrimination and the law, THE LAW OF SEX DISCRIMINATION approaches the idea of using law to combat sex discrimination from a variety of contexts; for example, as an occasion for ideological disputes, as a reflection of contemporary policy debates over the future direction of society, or as part of the historical development (and response to) feminism. Appendices that deal with the court system, a brief discussion of how to outline cases, and a glossary of legal and technical terms are included.

Cases and Materials on The Law of Employment Discrimination (University Casebook Series)

This casebook covers all the major aspects of employment discrimination law, including updates on benchmark legislative, administrative, and judicial developments. The Sixth Edition solidifies this volume's standing as the most teachable and comprehensive casebook in its field. It retains the organizational structure that has made the previous editions adaptable to 2, 3 or 4credit courses but reflects a significant amount of editing to remove redundancies, clarify some ambiguous textual material and provide a more manageable teaching tool.

White by Law 10th Anniversary Edition: The Legal Construction of Race (Critical America Series)

View the Table of Contents. Read the Preface.

Praise for the 10th Anniversary Edition

"White by Law remains one of the most significant and generative entries in the crowded field of 'whiteness studies.' Ian Haney López has crafted a brilliant study, not merely of how 'race' figures in the juridical logic of U.S. citizenship, but of the ways in which law fully participates in the wholesale manufacture of those naturalized groupings we know as 'races.' A terribly important work."
—Matthew Frye Jacobson, author of Roots Too: White Ethnic Revival in Post-Civil Rights America

"Ten years after its initial publication, White by Law remains the definitive treatment of the naturalization cases, and provides a compelling account of the role of law in constructing race. A wonderful combination of thematic development and historical excavation, one leaves this revised edition with a thoroughgoing understanding of the ways in which citizenship functioned not only to include and exclude but as a process through which people quite literally became white by law."
—Devon W. Carbado, Professor of Law and Associate Dean, UCLA School of Law

"White by Law remains the definitive work on how American law constructed a 'white' race at the turn of the twentieth century. Haney López has added a chapter to the new edition, a sobering analysis of how, in our own time, 'colorblind' law and policy threaten to perpetuate, not eliminate, racial inequality. A must-read."
—Mae M. Ngai, author of Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America

“Here is one work that proved challenging to review with a fresh eye, having been widely reviewed and discussed since its original publication more than 10 years ago….While one’s first question upon picking up such a book could easily be ‘why bother?’ with the re-release of an older work, in this case, the strategy works….[T]he addition of the author’s personal narrative in the Preface and his intriguing view into the future with the new conclusion will add to the book’s pedagogical value. In sum, Haney Lopez has provided a piece of scholarship worthy of bringing out a curtain call on its 10th anniversary.”
—Law and Politics Review

Praise for the 1st edition:

"Haney López performs a major service for anyone truly interested in understanding contemporary debates over racial and ethnic politics. . . . A sobering and crucial lesson for a society committed to equality and fairness."
—Martha Minow, Harvard Law School

"This book is remarkable for sheer information value, but draws its analytic power from the emphasis on whiteness to make sense of racial oppression. . . . Haney López convincingly demonstrates that the US is ideologically white not by accident but by design."
—Choice

White by Law was published in 1996 to immense critical acclaim, and established Ian Haney López as one of the most exciting and talented young minds in the legal academy. The first book to fully explore the social and specifically legal construction of race, White by Law inspired a generation of critical race theorists and others interested in the intersection of race and law in American society. Today, it is used and cited widely by not only legal scholars but many others interested in race, ethnicity, culture, politics, gender, and similar socially fabricated facets of American society.

In the first edition of White by Law, Haney López traced the reasoning employed by the courts in their efforts to justify the whiteness of some and the non-whiteness of others, and revealed the criteria that were used, often arbitrarily, to determine whiteness, and thus citizenship: skin color, facial features, national origin, language, culture, ancestry, scientific opinion, and, most importantly, popular opinion.

Ten years later, Haney López revisits the legal construction of race, and argues that current race law has spawned a troubling racial ideology that perpetuates inequality under a new guise: colorblind white dominance. In a new, original essay written specifically for the 10th anniversary edition, he explores this racial paradigm and explains how it contributes to a system of white racial privilege socially and legally defended by restrictive definitions of what counts as race and as racism, and what doesn't, in the eyes of the law. The book also includes a new preface, in which Haney López considers how his own personal experiences with white racial privilege helped engender White by Law.
